Here it was bad beef. Ordered Filetto de Manzo NOK 399 This was a steak well worth from NOK 400. It said on the menu melts on the tongue , but it certainly didn 't. Ordered medium rare but the steak was completely rubbery and raw inside. The waiter was very nice and let us get the food at 50%. NB it may well be that the other things they have taste good, but the steak was not good. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: kr 200–300 Food: 1 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 4

Cozy place with an Italian touch. Full house when we arrived, good service and the food arrived quickly, even though we were warned of extra waiting time. The food was fantastic! We tried lasagna, carbonara and pizza. The lasagna is recommended! Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Terrible service, waiter more busy with private conversations and took a very long time to come and take orders. When the food finally arrived we got a strange and tasteless pasta! Won't be coming back Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: kr 200–300 Food: 1 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 1

Farther away from Italy or just generally a nice restaurant visit you really don 't come, do you? Popped in after reading the good reviews and made us happy. In a relatively quiet restaurant, we are greeted with a sort of welcome, and despite the decent capacity, we are placed on an unremarkable table between the bar and the kitchen. Asked if it was possible to sit outside in the sun, and got a hesitant yes in response. The outdoor area was quite dirty, fair enough, but drying the worn wax cloths a little would not have cost the world. Well, it 's summer, it 's sunny, and we 're ready for both beer and pasta. The waiter did not quite share this opinion, and needed a good 20 minutes to even ask if we wanted something to drink. It would then take another 15 minutes to collect two lagers. We order two pasta dishes for the tidy sum of NOK 260 each, and are genuinely looking forward to it. That joy should turn out to be a bit of a letdown, because 40 minutes later we are both pasta and beer less. After 50 minutes of waiting (we had now actually decided to leave , a new waitress finally appears with food, but she doesn 't seem very interested in asking if we need refills on drinks. Let go, now it 's time to eat. The carbonara has been joined by two huge (fried? pieces of Foccaia, which have been bathed in butter for a couple of hours. The overcooked pasta is topped with half fried pieces of bacon and a whole bunch of basil is thrown on top. It all reminds of a slightly hacked version of Toro 's version of the same classic. Samboer has got a kind of variant of bolognese that brings back memories then of the student days and its long series of meals with spaghetti with ketchup. No waiter comes to check the stand. The price of this meal (had to give up half, even after the roommate had managed to steal some salt and pepper was stiff as F*, and we left the shop as hungry as we came. So my recommendation if you are in Kristiansand is to say a calm Arrivederci to this shop. Food: 1 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 1
